Buying guides

Choose with confidence.
Pitch without doubt.

Awning fit gets easier when you work through four things: attachment height, awning format, frame construction and connection method.

Four decisions

Get the fit right before checkout.

For pop-tops, conversions and aftermarket rails, take a physical measurement as well.

01 / Start here

Measure your attachment height

Park on level ground. Measure vertically from the ground to the awning rail or fitted connection point. Check both ends because converted vans can sit differently when loaded.

02 / Choose the format

Drive-away or wind-out?

A drive-away awning stays on the pitch when the van leaves. A wind-out awning stays fixed to the vehicle and deploys quickly for shade and short stops.

03 / Choose the frame

Air or poled?

Air frames pitch with a pump and avoid separate poles. Poled awnings can offer a lower purchase price and familiar, replaceable frame sections.

04 / Connect correctly

Rails, piping and connection kits

The right piping and drive-away kit depend on your fitted rail, wind-out cassette or gutter arrangement. Check the exact product requirements.

A sensible order

Van first. Awning second.

1. Confirm the actual rail height. Low, Mid and High are shortcuts; the centimetre range is what matters.

2. Decide how you tour. Drive-away keeps the living space standing when the van leaves. Wind-out can suit quick shade.

3. Allow for the footprint. Include the connecting cowl, main room and guy lines.

4. Match the connection. Check the piping size and rail system. Send a photo if unsure.
